This product being the latest version of L0phtcrack is euphemistically called a password auditing and recovery tool. It is known to others as a fantastic password hash cracker for Windows. And while the new name makes it sound more like a seminal Detroit rock band of the late 60's, the latest version hopes to kick out the competition with a array of new features.

There is a saying that Alaska is what America used to be and in a way this product from Anchorage-based software firm Juzt-Reboot Technology is a bit like what software used to be. Opening up the package reveals a parallel port dongle and installation had an old-fashioned look to it.

Just about everyone that uses a computer uses compressed zip files in day-to-day use. However, zipped files are not known for their security,

Spyware  is a royal pain but the average user is, most of the time, not aware of the snooping activities of these little programs on their computers. 

More of the general public are becoming aware of spyware. Up until now, very little was known of this awful, creeping plague outside of security circles.

While flash drives are all the rage, they can be pretty insecure; to lose it is quite easy as they are so small. Should sensitive material be placed on one such drive, a thief would find getting information off such a device to be a walk in the park. 

The Wireless PC Lock is billed as a convenient aid for protecting personal details and programs when away from the PC or laptop. A receiver is connected via a USB port to the computer while a transmitter is placed upon the person. Should the transmitter and receiver be more than two metres apart then the PC will lock.

However, this is not without its problems. No-one in their right mind would donate the CEO's old desktop without deleting important data such as financial records or confidential emails. Reformatting the disk does not erase this data permanently.

This type of ADSL router is becoming more popular as branch offices look for all-in-one boxes that provide access to the wire and wireless user. 

Maintaining the security of an organization's laptops and desktops is never an easy task, with many a sleepless night worrying if all devices that come into contact with the enterprise are secured against theft and compromised data. Managing all this can be an overwhelming task.
GlobalAdmin is a management application that is used in conjunction with GTGI's other products, CryptCard and CompuSec. Our review kit came ready prepared on a Dell Optiplex GX400 PC running Windows 2000. We just had to plug in the relevant devices for reading smartcards.

Many companies are looking to secure their networks from wardriving attacks and the current advice is to put a VPN behind a wireless access point. With this in mind, the following product should be ideal. The aim of the product is to secure access to network infrastructure from wireless clients using the wireless transport layer security (WTLS) protocol, which is a wireless version of SSL.

This product is built upon Sun's very secure Trusted Solaris 8 operating system, which has been used by the U.S. Department of Defense for over 25 years. It is a hardened version of the Solaris operating system platform for deployment of high-security desktops, database servers, firewalls, and communication gateways.

Now in version 3.6, the Tsunami VPN appliance sports a simpler management interface and new tools for managing access rules, as well as the ability to send password expiration warnings to remote users who authenticate against NT domains.

Aventail was probably the first company to conceive and market the idea of the clientless SSL VPN. However it has only recently brought out its own hardware appliance that does such a job.

This appliance hails from a Swedish company that has been going since 1997. The software runs on a Sun Netra X1 box (1U in size). It also has the widest range of client types we saw in this test.
